Wireless networks can offer workers a more flexible and
convenient way of working and remove the need to install fixed
cabling infrastructure. Key benefits of Wi-Fi within the business
include:
-
Flexibilty and mobility
Office staff can be part of the network without being
permanently tethered to it
-
Ease of Access
Once wireless access has been configured it will remain
connected to the network whilst in range without the need for user
intervention.
-
Cost reduction
Wireless networks can be considerably cheaper to deploy and
manage than wired equivalents particularly when it comes to
increasing staff members, accomodating visitors on site or setting
up temporary offices.
-
Better efficiency
Having full access to electronic communications anywhere in the
business improves workgroup collaboration and responsiveness to
customers, giving you a competitive advantage.
Wireless Networking for Business
It is important to have the right sort of equipment and the
right setup. Wireless networks operate in a relatively narrow band
of radio frequencies and can interfere with each other if not
properly setup. We can perform a site survey when to commissioning
any wireless network to determine which channels are alreay in use
to ensure that your equipment is best configured to avoid congested
channels.
Advanced Wireless
For those business with more intense wireless needs, we can
supply, install and configure managed access points from Aruba,
Cisco or 3Com which automatically detect other radio traffic and
dynamically adjust their channels and signal strength to ensure
maximum coverage.

managed Wireless solutions. These are highly cost effective
compared to traditional controller focussed solutions. We are able
to offer trials of the equipment to potential clients to
demonstrate the capabilities. If you're considering a managed
